Cartels have even cut holes in the Trump wall in AZ. They only need to hand out wire cutters to breach the wire in Texas. Sadly, there’s only one way to stop this. Looks like that’s exactly what happened in El Paso. Reports are also saying that the ‘migrates’ have been instructed to become more aggressive in confronting law enforcement at the border. They’re now pushing for a violent reaction from our side.  Video catches migrant cutting Texas border fence before National Guard troops stop illegal crossers Video catches migrant cutting Texas border fence before National Guard troops stop illegal crossers A migrant with bolt cutters snipped a wire border fence Sunday, then led dozens of migrants through the hole — only to be turned back to Mexico by National Guard troops. The Post observed as the migrants pulled fencing away and pushed through the state’s concertina-wire barrier near a gate in the wall, entering the US illegally, near El Paso, Texas. Footage of the incident taken by The Post showed guardsmen appearing and blocking the migrants, and directing them away from Gate 45, which is not a legal port of entry, and back to Mexican territory. The incident comes days after another encounter a few miles away at Gate 36 in the border — where more than 100 people bum-rushed Texas National Guard soldiers last Thursday.

It’s even available for free to download on Kindle, too.  |

Illegal Immigrants Are Voting in US Elections | Special Live Q&A With Roman Balmakov Illegal Immigrants Are Voting in US Elections | Special Live Q&A With Roman Balmakov Regardless of what the legacy news outlets say, there is a growing number of municipalities in America where non-U.S. citizens can vote. In fact, there are very few state constitutions that explicitly outlaw this practice. Furthermore, the list of areas that illegal immigrants can vote in is increasing, with multiple bills being up for a vote in the near future. This is all atop of the fact that illegal immigrants alter our electoral landscape in many other ways as well—such as changing the congressional apportionment map, the electoral college map, as well as the amount of federal dollars that each state receives. Join Joshua Philipp, host of Crossroads, and Roman Balmakov, host of Facts Matter, to go through all of these facts and dig into the specifics of the reality behind illegal immigrants voting in America. |

ISIS calls for 'lone wolves' to carry out Ramadan massacre of Christians and Jews across Europe, US and Israel
- It comes on 10-year anniversary of ISIS declaration of caliphate in Iraq and Syria A top ISIS spokesman has called on 'lone wolves' worldwide to slaughter Christians and Jews en-masse in a chilling new declaration of terror. In a 41-minute-long recording to mark the 10-year anniversary of ISIS declaration of a caliphate in Iraq and Syria, Abu Hudhayfah al-Ansari declared Ramadan as the 'month of jihad' and urged extremists to launch attacks in the United States, Europe and Israel. He went on to urge Muslims to leave their homes and migrate to join up with jihadists and strengthen their ranks. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13251719/ISIS-calls-lone-wolves-carry-Ramadan-massacre-Christians-Jews-Europe-Israel.html |

I thought I had already posted this but can’t find it if I did.
Anyway, it must be an election year. Authorities reportedly ordered Google to reveal the identities of some YouTube videos' viewers You apparently don't have to do anything illegal for law enforcement to ask for your Google data. https://www.yahoo.com/news/authorities-reportedly-ordered-google-to-reveal-the-identities-of-some-youtube-videos-viewers-140018019.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall Google ordered to unmask certain YouTube users. Critics say it’s ‘terrifying’ Federal investigators have ordered Google to provide information on all viewers of select YouTube videos, according to multiple court orders obtained by Forbes. Privacy experts from multiple civil rights groups told Forbes they think the orders are unconstitutional because they threaten to turn innocent YouTube viewers into criminal suspects. In a just-unsealed case from Kentucky reviewed by Forbes, undercover cops sought to identify the individual behind the online moniker “elonmuskwhm,” who they suspect of selling bitcoin for cash, potentially running afoul of money laundering laws and rules around unlicensed money transmitting. In conversations with the user in early January, undercover agents sent links of YouTube tutorials for mapping via drones and augmented reality software, then asked Google for information on who had viewed the videos, which collectively have been watched over 30,000 times. The court orders show the government telling Google to provide the names, addresses, telephone numbers and user activity for all Google account users who accessed the YouTube videos between January 1 and January 8, 2023. The government also wanted the IP addresses of non-Google account owners who viewed the videos. The cops argued, “There is reason to believe that these records would be relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation, including by providing identification information about the perpetrators.” . . https://www.forbes.com.au/news/innovation/google-ordered-to-unmask-certain-youtube-users/  Feds demand unmasking of YouTube users || Tittle Tattle |

It's all terrestrial nav, meaning looking out the window and following the channel markers, range marks, and known headings and using local knowledge (the pilot). She really needs to shut the fuck up about things that she doesn't understand. Bannon too. Sounds like she’s just relaying the information she was given by her sources. If this were just an accident, this is the biggest example of pure incompetence by the pilot and the crew that I can think of. |

She's completely full of shit and we need to pray that she's simply lying about having "sources", because any ship's deck officer who hears that take on the incident would laugh their ass off at her theory. If she actually got it from intel sources, we're fucked because our intel guys are morons. Incompetence on the part of the crew - sure. On the part of the pilot - no. The pilot tells the officer of the watch, usually the Captain, where to go, when to turn, what course to follow, etc. The pilot does not drive the boat, nor do they have responsibility for the health of the ship's propulsion and power generation. The pilot comes onboard maybe 30 minutes before getting underway, was directing the ship to sea, the ship crapped out, and you want to blame the pilot? |

There's no mystery here. The ship was dead smack in the middle of the outbound traffic lane shown on the chart until it had the system failure. It was exactly where it was supposed to be. Ships pass close to bridges all over the world...what would you expect, an extra thousand feet or two of unsupported span to give the ships more wiggle room? |

Well if that’s the case, we certainly see the consequences of passing that close to the bridge support. Perhaps there should be new procedures for getting as close to the inside lane as possible, especially when there’s no inbound traffic to contend with. |

Modern bridges have dolphins and fendering systems that would have prevented, or at least made less likely, an incident like this. The same kind of thing happened in Tampa bay and the new bridge is built differently as a result. That said, there will always be ships passing close to bridges. My first ship used to clear a bridge span above it by maybe three feet in Port Elizabeth NJ. Ships actually steer at each other a bit in the Houston ship channel and then let their bow waves push them away from each other when passing. It's scary the first time you see it from the bridge wing. |

Like my analogy that I used earlier in this thread, if I’m driving down a six lane highway, I’m not driving on the shoulder right next to the guardrail. I don’t consider that being overly cautious. I just consider that common sense. |

I’d imagine there are also going to be lots of idiots pulling over on the sides of the highways to watch. What this is though is a sign of the times we’re living in with all the lies by government and the distrust created by that. Same thing as the bridge collision questioning. |

This is just my opinion but several topics within this thread have taken me down dark holes were the discussions of the roots of our main religions being heavily influenced and even based on pagan worship of the sun, moon, & stars are found. I really think the basis for the heightened hype & strange coincidences surrounding this eclipse are because of that. Sounds crazy, right? It sounded crazy to me once, too. |

Definite lack of mass and no Fender system to deflect or dissipate a ships kinetic energy . The governing body does bear some responsibility here , they assumed a ship would never hit it ? Its project managers and bureaucrats saving money. No protection for the piers was just stupid and last i heard there were 2 pilots on that boat sonthe chnaces of some kind of foul play outside and engine sabotage is unlikely. Im in the incompetence and bean counter cost cutting caused this. |

The Post observed as the migrants pulled fencing away and pushed through the state’s concertina-wire barrier near a gate in the wall, entering the US illegally, near El Paso, Texas. Footage of the incident taken by The Post showed guardsmen appearing and blocking the migrants, and directing them away from Gate 45, which is not a legal port of entry, and back to Mexican territory. The incident comes days after another encounter a few miles away at Gate 36 in the border — where more than 100 people bum-rushed Texas National Guard soldiers last Thursday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30UusHUwjr0Migrants becoming more aggressive at US border: Memo | Vargas Reports Agents working at the U.S. southern border are fearful that migrants attempting to enter the country illegally are becoming increasingly aggressive toward law enforcement.

Cartels have even cut holes in the Trump wall in AZ. They only need to hand out wire cutters to breach the wire in Texas. Sadly, there’s only one way to stop this.

I agree theyre definitely pushing for a reaction. The left is already trying to frame the story so anyone definsing the border looks bad. I heard one lefty say " they were on US soil already. The tx guard was just trying to stop them from reaching Border patrol. They had no right to impeded them. " the problem is we've allowed the argument to become once they cross the border they have a right to be here. For years The GOP has not been helpful here either with thier compassionate conservitism comprehensive immigration reform etc. |

The goalposts are constantly being moved on a multitude of issues and we wonder why we keep losing? |
